August - September has a high need for children's lunch box items and school supplies. September - October is the time we begin our Halloween candy drive. In addition to delivering something special to our clients' children, Coastal Women's Shelter has a higher involvement in community outreach programs and events. Halloween candy is a special commodity we can always use. We also hope for children's Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating buckets. November - December is a valuable time for holiday items. All donated items are disbursed to our Safe House and our clients in 3 counties. We also have a need for Christmas decor, trees, lights, ornaments, wrapping paper, children's gifts, and gifts for teenagers and adults. Thanksgiving our clients are always grateful for turkeys, hams, bacon, stuffing, fresh produce, canned pie fillings, evaporated milk, spices, canned yams, butter, and other traditional foods for the holiday. Due to the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and other contagious viruses, please consider providing a meal box with above mentioned items or a grocery store gift card.
